Thread: How long are your LD's?

Mine last very various amount of time, starting from a few seconds and maximum was, i think, around within 30-60 min range, one of more recent ones was around 15-20ish min. It helps to not think about 'time left' or waking up in lucid. Also when stabilizing be calm and focus on dream senses, never rush it. Also something that worked out for me at times when dream fading out is 'grabbing' into dream and focusing all will on that.
And like FryingMan said, DEILD can be great, especially if you can manage to chain a few of them.

Haha Frying man I have tried diving into the ground and falling backward. I guess you could say that the technique worked for me the problem was that I entered a FA and didn't catch it either time lol. So I probably will experiment with that more in the future as I have quite a few FA's and they are a good source of lucidity for me.

Scionox, wow that is so cool! I am very encouraged to hear that you can have these longer lucid dreams, thanks for sharing!

That is great advice for me about not rushing the dream. Usually even if I do remember to stay calm and stabilize afterwards I usually start trying to rush the dream plot along wondering how much time I have left. I think that things would go better, and I would definitely enjoy it more, if I just stayed calm an didn't rush anything.

So for some reason even though I have recorded so many non-lucid dreams I never thought to try to judge how much time I spent in the dream in them. Because of this thread last night I tried to see how long the dream time is even with my non-lucid dreams.

I am so encouraged by the results! I believe that even in my shortest non-lucid dreams I have like ten or fifteen minutes of dream time!! That gives me a lot of hope that I can have similarly long lucids!
